"Preparing Young People for Hong Kong's Economic Transition" Press Briefing
Hong Kong, as an externally-oriented economy, has been affected as the global environment has become more challenging, due to the slowing global economy, prospects of increased protectionism and increases in geopolitical tensions. The city’s financial future, in particular its trading prospects, remains unclear.
Youth, as the engine of social progress and economic development, are an important component of human capital. How do young people view the economic prospects of Hong Kong, given the economic transition and the increasingly competitive environment?
This study has addressed these concerns by conducting onsite surveys between September and October 2024, and interviews with 20 young people, and 5 experts and scholars to understand the confidence of working youth in Hong Kong's economic prospects, especially regarding employment in the context of economic transition.
